- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Form dough: Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Notes
- You can substitute the almond flour with oat flour or add a tablespoon of nut butter for extra richness.
- Choose a protein powder you enjoy the flavor of—plant-based or whey both work.
